Rhubarb is pretty easy to find around here except in winter when it is
dormant. It's easy to grow and does not take much tending. Suttil's
Garden has it fresh cut as well as several of the grocery stores. I'll
be able (or should be able) to harvest it in my own yard next year.

Hy-Vee's curbside pick-up has cause all of the supermarkets to offer
some form of "curbside" pickup or delivery. As they say "A rising tide
lifts all boats". But things like that and their outstanding produce
and service meat departments as well as the in-store bakery have made
them the #1 grocery store in America in USA Today's poll. #2 was Fresh
Market and #3 was Wegman's.
